*NEW* In Color Swatch Charts

 
If your anything like me, you want to see all your choices and THEN make a decision.  Well that also applies to all the wonderful colors offered by Stampin' Up!.  I've created these color swatch charts for you to be able to organize your colors and have them right at your fingertips when you're ready to create.

Please feel free to download these charts for your personal use.  Let your friends know they're welcome to download the charts too from WWW.MUKIBUG.COM.  The charts should be cut to 3 9/16" X 8 1/2"  to get three even cuts.  The color swatches were punched with a 1" Circle Punch.  I hope these are a helpful tool in your creativity.

Smiles,
AB

Sneak Peek: *NEW* IN Colors Compared to the Great 48 & more!

The *NEW* In Colors for 2009-2010 have arrived and they are FABULOUS!  I've created some color swatches for you to compare our 6 new In Colors with some or our great 48 & neutrals.  Color is so powerful and I'm feeling the power of these new colors.

It will be hard for me to say goodbye to {Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango} our out-going "In Colors" for 2008-2009.  Remember these colors are still available, while supplies last, for you to purchase.  Check the "LAST CHANCE" lists to make sure they're still available.  If you want any of the goodies shown on any of the "LAST CHANCES" lists, you need to Order On-Line right away, because when they're gone . . . they're gone for ever!

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Scoring your 11 x 17 card stock at 4”.

2. Fold at score line.















3. Turn card stock upside down and roll.  (
Note: This allows me to roll straight using the edge of the paper as my guide.  It does help to use the wheel guide on this project.






)

4. Do the same thing for the pocket front.















5. Fold the panel in half to create your page.
This is where I stamped my Baroque Motifs image on the top center of each page with Chocolate Chip ink.


  (Note: The folded page is 7 X 8 1/2”















)

 

6. Now is the time to add your punched chocolate chip border to each page.  It doesn’t need to be the entire width of the pocket because it will be covered up by the Kraft binding piece.  My Chocolate Chip card stock is 1 1/2” X  8”

  (Note:You can see here how the Baroque Motif image looks on the finished page.





)

7. Fold your Kraft CS and put 2 strips of sticky strip up each side to have it adhere well.  Attach the Kraft binding to the page ends as shown.



















8. Adhere your calendars to each page using SNAIL.

9. Stamp cork and apply to both the front and back covers.  Apply the trim of chocolate chip card stock and narrow strip of DSP.
  (Note: Remember to do these covers as they would be bound.  See the pic below.












)

10. Make sure you have your Crop-a-Dile set for the jumbo eyelets.  Using the larger hole punch on the side of the Crop-a-Dile, you’re going to punch three holes into the outside card stock covers.  Place the covers back to back as they will appear when the organizer in bound together.  Simultaneously punch through both the back and front cover together in three places.  
(Note: I set my Crop-a-Dile 3/16” hole guide at 1/2” so each hole was evenly punched.
)

11. The cover is now the guide or all the holes to be punched on the pages.  Using a pencil align a cover with a page and mark where to punch.
  (Note: Only the covers are set with Jumbo Eyelets.














)

 

12. Using the PDF file provided below, print out a page for the page tabs and punch them out.

13. Apply the tabs to your pages using sticky strip  (
Note: I attached the top and bottom tabs approx. 1/4” from the top and bottom.  Then I evenly placed the tabs that were in the center.





)

 

14. Put your rings on, tie the ribbons on and you’ve got a finished Card Organizer.





I would love to see pictures of your finished organizer. 

Thanks and Happy Stampin’!
